The fly-wheel, or ratchet being used at that point looks like (and makes an incredibly similar sound to) the one used at the very beginning of a famous Honda advert.

Great pacing, creative use of themed objects, and overall it was just totally fun to watch! (I’d still love to see an outtake reel to see what parts of the machine were hanging up on previous takes.)

Also, noticing the four wooden dolls with paint cannons, I can’t help but wonder if that was a nod to this video:

I love Rube Goldberg machines. Their like conspicuous consumption for brainy people.

Yay! HTML works for me again :D
